* TheCaptain: As commanding officer of a ship in the US Navy, he holds the official title of "Captain," regardless of his actual rank.

to:

Captain of the USS ''Walker'' (DD-163). Reddy was born and raised in Texas and graduated from the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. Although he wanted to make the Navy his career, he was squeezed out in the mid-1930s as part of a peacetime Reduction In Force due to budget cuts forced by the Great Depression. With war looming in 1939, he was recalled to the Active Reserve, and within two years had been sent to to the Asiatic Fleet to command on of their old destroyers. Though initially disappointed, he soon grew to love his ship and crew, and the feeling is mutual.

* AFatherToHisMen: Matt's crew will follow him to Hell and back, because they know he will deprive himself to take care of them.
